Prosecutors have released surveillance video of a school bus fight that left a 13-year-old girl injured.

Seven Marion County teens are accused in the beating involving students from Liberty Middle School.

The video shows students yelling, screaming and climbing over seats on Jan. 6.

Five girls and two boys were arrested after the attack. Investigators said the victim suffered a concussion.

Investigators said it was the victim's first day on the bus.

RAW VIDEO: Bus Surveillance

"It's not fair what they did to her. All she wanted is a place to sit down. That's it," said the victim's mother, who doesn't want to be identified.

The victim said the other students told her to sit on the floor, and then they got physical.

"She even ignored it when they pulled her hair the first time," the girl's mother said. "They're yanking her hair. They pull her down, (and) that's when they got her to the ground, elbowing her, punching her, literally beating the daylights out of her."

For more than two minutes on video, the bus driver is seen continuing to drive, ignoring the ruckus.

"He endangered my daughter's life," the girl's mother said.

Other students can be seen in the video urging the bus driver to stop. School district officials said the driver did stop twice, and when he did pull over, another student had to drag the victim to safety.

"They beat her so bad, she was unconscious," the victim's mother said. "The bus driver wouldn't help her get off the floor."

The district defended driver Phillip Cosenza, saying he had 67 students on a bus capable of holding 89 and couldn't put himself or the other kids in danger.

"Their job as a bus driver is to drive that bus in a safe and efficient manner. If there's something going on on that bus, then that bus driver has to wait until it's safe to pull over," said Marion County Public Schools spokesman Kevin Christian.

Officials said the bus driver had been on the job less than a year and was on that route for only several days.

"That bus was not overcrowded. There was a spot for every student on that bus. Whether those students allowed that particular student to sit down, that's obviously something that we want to look into as a district," Christian said.

The charges against the students were reduced from felonies to misdemeanors. The defendants are off house arrest and have been released to their parents, but they have not been back to school. The school's principal has recommended expulsion.

The bus driver resigned after the incident, and the victim now rides a different bus.
